We're kicking off the week with something wholly unusual: links to Free Fiction.
And… for whatever reason, my short story, "The Bones of Texas City", (set in the same universe as my novel, blah, blah, blah…) is still free on Amazon. Tell your brosephs and baby mommas.
What's special about today's free fiction?
- Black Gate has a short story by Nina Kiriki Hoffman
- Guy Hasson is serializing his epic fantasy novel, Tickling Butterflies. Each installment is its own fairy tale. We'll start with Part 1, and keep going with a part each day until we catch up. You'd better get reading…
- Matthew Sanborn Smith delves deep into the world of Sinister Mango Auditing Sessions with his chilling expose, "Peer Pressure". It's the story that Fox News, The Onion and Wikileaks were all too "mainstream" to release.
